Up to that point, Mario was "Thr Brave Carpenter," and not yet the Plumber we know him as today. This get revisited in "Donkey Kong GB/94" when he had to save Pauline from DK and DK Junior.
I imagine there was probably a couple people back then that were like: Pfft, this will never catch on. *Little did they know what Mario would grow up to do and become.*
Hard to believe that the mechanics of THIS game would stick around for the whole franchise and to think the POW block also made its first appearance in this!
@@theodorehsu5023Curious to hear so many people saying they played the Apple II port. From what i've heard, the port was never officially released by Atarisoft but it was pirated and then spread around somehow. Quite the story, huh? I played it on an emulator once. The port's actually really good.
Shout out to the GBA remake that was included in evey Super Mario Advance game: Mario Bros Classic. To me, it was the definitive way to play Mario Bros. Extremely addictive. ...I also probably spent more time on Mario Bros Classic than I did Super Mario World/3....heh...
One day I was watching The Mario Bros Arcade and wondered if this game will become much interesting in the later years. What I never expected back then is than this game will become many years later into a worldwide popular multimillionaire franchise than keeps growing with each generation.
I love it. Such memories of arcade cruising amd hanging out. Bowling alleys and arcades, corner markets, pizza places, . After super mario came out I dont recall seeing much of this anymore. Maybe I just wasnt looking. Great stuff Alex. Thank you 👍
Ha! I forgot how pissed those crabs get the first time you bop them. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, I had forgotten all about this one... tho I’m more familiar with this from SMB3 on NES rather than the actual arcade.
One of my favorite arcade titles, although I prefer the GBA Super Mario Advance version, due to easier control of your jumps. Still, it’s a fantastic start for our favorite plumbers!
The mall downtown has a nintendo pic ten. Crazy to watch it play through the old games in demo mode. It also has a ZELDA arcade cabinet. I dont know if its custom or not. Heart❤
When I was in Kindergarten, playing Mario Bros. on our 2600 I was completely oblivious to the importance this fat plumber would have in my life. Mario earned his place as a video game icon, unlike Sonic who was manufactured to be one. God bless Miyamoto.
@@theodorehsu5023Oh it sure hasn't, but in preparation for Super Mario Wonder, I replayed SMB1 through World with my daughter and she absolutely loved em, especially SMB3.
@@Dorian_Scott Overall I agree 3 is better, but when SMW was new I had never seen anything like what it took to open up the star road. The secret exits and the hidden keys were something entirely new to me and I found the whole idea fascinating, so SMW made a bigger impact on me. Then , a few years later Donkey Kong Country 2 came out . It was fun watching my kid get involved in looking for the games secrets more than just making it to the end.
The sounds of this game were brilliant, as were many of these old arcade games. Centipede, Spy Hunter, Tempest, Galaga, all those sounds that filled the arcade made it a truly magical experience. Mario Brothers is a super hard game to play. It looks really simple, but it's not. I see your skill here and I think I learned a few tricks to try on my next attempt.
I grew up in the 1980s and 90s, and first encountered the Super Mario 3 version of this game. The summer before I started high school in 1997, I went to a summer camp that had a few old early 80s arcade game cabinets, including this game. That was when I found out that it was the original game in the series, and that the minigame within Super Mario 3 was a remake of it.
I like a lot more te nes euro version of this game from '93, and the annoying walk sound is better in this version too. The phisics when Mario jumps backward are more accurate. The best part of arcade version are the animations and the colors. Sorry for my bad english.
This is the version that I played at the arcades (Aladdin’s Castle) in the 80s; brings back those awesome memories I had as a kid. ❤ All other versions I’ve played at home don’t match up with the sounds and nostalgia as this one for me. 😊
Oh one thing, when NintendoComplete uploaded Mario Bros Arcade it was the Year of Luigi, and this is the time we all remember that Charles Martinet decided to retired and becoming a Mario Ambassador while working on Nintendo, you know time passed all the time and I'm going to miss the voice actor of Mario.
My first exposure to Mario bros arcade is actually the game included in Mario and Luigi superstar saga This is a great game and one that I have to give credit for since Mario bros was developed and released durring the video game crash of 1983 and somehow succeeded Honestly it’s no wonder Nintendo released a console on their own later Good work habits pays off
What i actually found interesting about mariobros is that if you flip a koopa on it’s back and let them wake up,not only do they change from color but they will also become more agressive,this reminds me of space panic,if you manage to get an alien doen the a hole but then let them wake up,they do also change colors and will become more agressive as well,so i will be not surprised if nintendo did took inspiration from that game,in fact i will be not surprised if nintendo took inspiration from that game for donkeykong as i do see similarities between those two games as well.
Never seen it through that far before heck I haven't even seen it go half that way I don't think I've gone past six stage is there a maximum stage or does it keep going on forever??🤔🤔
This is the game that the NES console game Snow Ball Bros. ripped off of... like a more kid friendly version maybe with expanded gameplay, but the exact same basis. So if you want to find a cheap NES cartridge version of this game... there it is. Mario Bros. Cartridges (original) probly not so much.
Yeah, it’s weird. What’s even annoying is that I wanted to buy this game for the NES, but couldn’t find it for a long time and I could only find Super Mario Bros.

I've only played the NES port. This has always been one of my favorite games to play every now and then. Plus, it's Luigi's debut title. Who doesn't like Luigi? My only gripe with it is the stiff control; particularly jumping. Best thing I can compare it to are the NES Castlevania games. Because you're unable to change your direction in midair, you might accidentally get killed by an enemy. It can be really annoying in the later levels.
Yeah, the controls take a while to adjust to. I'd say Castlevania's controls are actually smoother, because you don't have to build up momentum or slide to a stop when changing direction. Mario Bros. feels way heavier and stiffer because of that.
There are various games equivalent to it. I remember playing a pc game similar to it featuring the green and the cyan monsters, I had to jump to hit the ground to defeat various enemies and boss battle but I forgot the name. Can you help me ?
Mario Bros. endorse MLB's Padres before game 4 of the 2024 NLDS. Mario Bros.'s endorsement will help the team defeat the Dodgers and move on to NLCS!!!

Though Mario and Luigi hadn't yet earned the right to be called super, Mario Bros. was nonetheless an excellent start for Nintendo's fledgling series.
Good thing this caught on. Otherwise, Mario would forever be known as that asshole who put Donkey Kong in a cage and sent him to the circus.
Up to that point, Mario was "Thr Brave Carpenter," and not yet the Plumber we know him as today. This get revisited in "Donkey Kong GB/94" when he had to save Pauline from DK and DK Junior.

I really like the Mario Bros. included with all of the Super Mario Advance carts on the GBA. I can play it for hours.
I never realized this was a separate game 2 years ago. I would always play this version on Mario 3
I remember playing this (and SMB) a couple of times in arcades as a kid. It's always nice to go back to the classics once in a while.
Had an Apple II when I was younger, and I remember playing this game on it. The Atarisoft version spotted 5 men, not 3.
A LEMMING OMG

Have you tried Mario Bros. Classic or Kaettekita Mario Bros. on the NES? They both have the newer style controls, too.

Just to clarify I didn’t grow up with this version I grew up with nes version I had no idea there was an arcade version at the time
Splendid video.
